The Tanglebox 45's Grading Scale

All of our records have three grades: Separate grades for label, vinyl, and sleeve where applicable.  We do not give a grade for a generic white sleeve as it is typically brand new.  Our system allows much more detailed grading than is possible by using an overall grade alone. However, it does mean that you need to check the detail grades in addition to the overall grade in judging the condition of a record you are considering for purchase.

We are not experts on record grading; however, we try our best to describe the records honestly and accurately paired with top quality pictures.  On occasion we may make a mistake, so please contact us and we will work with you to resolve any problem that may arise.  If you need further information or pictures prior to buying or bidding, please contact us.  Also, we have a generous return policy.

All records are carefully packaged for shipment.  Plastic covers are used for the record and sleeve.  We typically ship 45s USPS First Class. 

Condition

Visual (Label and Vinyl)

Audio

M

Mint

Looks new and un-played. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Note: All new 45's for sale at The Tanglebox 45's are graded as Mint. It is not unusual for such singles to have a faint scuff or two on the vinyl or some slight wear on the label. The key is that these records are known to be new and un-played. If the record has a true manufacturing defect that affects the audio or a noticeable printing defect that affects the label, these will be noted and downgraded as well.

Sounds brand new. (Note that with 45rpm records, this does NOT mean there is no surface noise at all.)

NM

Near mint

Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as:

1.     Drill hole

2.     Small, unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy)

3.     A few scuffs and scrapes on the vinyl

4.     Minor ring wear or color flaking on label

5.     Other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal

Near mint audio has some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting. Listening with headphones may reveal more surface noise than listening through speakers.

EX

Excellent

Less than near mint. The vinyl and label appear used, but well cared for. Records in this category have more obvious flaws, but ones that are not visually degrading, such as:

1.     Small stickers on the label

2.     Some noticeable, but not garish, writing on the label that typically does not deface the label design in any way

3.     Scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl

4.     Minor discoloration of the label

5.     Very minor warping in the vinyl.

Audio in this grade has noticeable surface noise, but nothing that detracts from the enjoyment of the music. Despite some possible treble distortion (typical of older records), the record sounds great.

VG

Very Good

Records in this grade appear well used but not abused. They may have one or two major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, but usually not more than 2 of these.

Audio in this grade has some surface noise that detracts somewhat from the music. The audio should still be enjoyable, but the surface noise is of a level that may be somewhat distracting in spots.

G

Good

Records in this grade appear well used and somewhat abused. They may have multiple major flaws; however, they play through all tracks.

Audio in this grade is not really "Good" at all. However, the record does not skip and plays all the way through. Typically, records in this condition are those you would purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along.

F

Fair. The Tanglebox 45's does not sell records in this grade. Records in Fair condition typically are so bad looking that collectors should just toss them out.

Please remember these records are old; and do show their age; however, their age and origin is what makes them collectable. If you are not satisfied with your purchase we do accept returns.
